Everyone probably knows Dropbox by now but for those that don't, its a free cloud storage/sync service that works across any OS and even mobile devices (phones, tablets, etc.). It runs on Amazon's servers and its very reliable, it keeps multiple file revisions and can even be accessed thru a browser.
You start with 2GB but it's fairly trivial to jump up to 3.4GB, they have paid options to expand your storage after that but you can also get up to 20GB for free thru referrals and other easy steps, see here:

Update: There's a new bonus that will let you add another 3GB to your account (so you can get over 6GB w/o even having any referrals). To get it you just have to use the new camera/picture auto-upload feature on the desktop beta clients or the Android client (you're only gonna get 3GB max regardless of which you use). More info on the Dropbox boards (link below) or the Android app page, it's really just a matter of finding a phone or SD card w/over 2.5GB of pics and letting the client auto-upload it tho (you have to use the autoplay option when connecting/inserting the device).

Update #2: The referral bonus is now 500GB regardless of whether you've tied a .edu e-mail account to your Dropbox account or not, and it's retro-active, so everyone and their mom should be able to get up to 22GB relatively easily!
Anyway, the old referral thread hasn't been edited in over a year, figured it was time to try a new one... To avoid the stagnation that one suffered I'm gonna do things a little different tho, suggestions are welcome. To start with, I'm gonna repost the names and collect referral links found thru the last page of the previous thread, about two month's worth.
Now, where I'm gonna do it a little different is in updating the thread... Every month I'll update the list with new names and cycle it, if you haven't posted again or PM's me to let us know how many referrals you need to reach the max bonus space then I'll drop you to the end of the list. If you have done so then you'll stay in place.
Anyone think I should update more/less often? I guess I'll only cycle/drop the top four for now until I see how fast it churns. I've set myself a reminder to update it next month, etc.
